Hiking

On the seven-kilometer-long Dead Moor adventure trail at Lake Steinhude, you can discover the unique flora and fauna of this nature reserve. You can start either at the car park of the Old Moor Hut or at the Grossenheidorn Tower. If you return to the starting point at the end of the adventure trail, the total length is ten kilometers. Seven exciting stations await you along the route, which will take you into the fascinating world of moors and explain how these rare landscapes are protected.

Right at the start, you can let your gaze wander over Lake Steinhude and Wunstorf Moor from the observation tower. The trail continues through a birch avenue to fairytale water lily ponds and over a wooden footbridge. Here, at a marked point, you even have the option of entering the moor barefoot.

At the end of this tour, you can fortify yourself with delicious food and refreshing drinks in the Old Moor Hut. The seven to ten-kilometer-long route is suitable as a relaxed excursion for all fitness levels and is particularly suitable for children, who have a lot to discover here.

Great view, especially when the water lilies are blooming, and the amphibious are on it.

It is definitely worth taking the small detour to the moorland adventure trail. Here you walk across the moor on a safe surface, the wooden footbridge.

Alte Moorhütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The cozy, rustically designed "Alte Moorhütte" restaurant is located directly on the north side of Lake Steinhude and is a popular stop for hikers and cyclists. Larger groups will also find plenty of space both in the house and in the garden.

The oak tree, whose trunk runs right through the dining room, is a unique feature. The menu at the "Alte Moorhütte" offers typical regional specialties.

Of course, the tour was twice as long (there and back), but Komoot didn't want to play along😌. Anyone who likes moor is in good hands here; the detours to the left and right of the main path are particularly worthwhile, the middle section is a bit boring, but then you can walk a little faster.

The importance of the moors for the climate... here is another nature trail, very close to the Steinhuder Meer. After the peat has been removed, the area is now being wetted again so that peat moss can settle and the moor continues to bind CO2.
